Hiring Foreign Worker from the Philippines

[dben]

POLO is a Philippines office in Vancouver, BC. They are asking employers to sign an addendum to the contract and collect $41.75 from Canadian employers. Wait until my member of Parliament hears about this!. They have no jurisdiction in Canada! If extra requirements are needed on a contract, it should be done by Canadian Immigration, not POLO! They have no authority to enforce the additions that they want on the contract and to collect money from Canadians. It's another Filipino scam to colloct money for their government and it needs to be stopped. I will be complaining to every MP that I can  on this matter and also writing newspaper editorials.

Actually they have every right to do so,We(BC)signed an agreement with the Philippines,They can collect and regulate the Filipinos as much as they want,The Philippines signed with AB,SKS,MB,and ON also,Go ahead and complain that is your charter right,But dont expect us to act on your complaint about the treaty,its 100% Legal

Hey folks dont be suprise and amaze that's our beloved @ #%&* presidents idea of protecting the new heros (OFW) of our country.parang dumaraan sa butas ng karayom before you can get out.While if you exit from other country to work in canada it will only take you 3 months to process your paper.
